'Brother' Trendor growled, then looked over at me with a serious 'expression'.

'You said earlier that you fell from the heavens... does that mean your an angel..? I know it sounds-'

"WAS, I WAS an angel..." I growled, "But then that little son of a bitch decided I might as well be Lucifer's daughter"

I pointed up at the ceiling as I spoke, referring to the man upstairs with a scowl on my face.

Coming up to my feet once more, I shut my eyes and held my hand into the air.

"ReTuRn"

My black wings spreading behind me as the darkened halo dropped into my hand.

I opened one of my eyes, wincing as pain coursed through my small figure.

My pupils shifted into slits, and my irises turned bright (f/c)... my teeth sharpening into jagged fangs.

"He threw me away, like trash" I growled, my eyes narrowing at the ground.

The five of them instantly stood, approaching me quickly as they examined my wings.

"So, a fallen angel then?" The male with the polka-dotted suit said, a grin on his face.

"I... I guess?" I mumbled, rubbing my arm as I glanced at Trendor.

He gently touched my wings, but then...

-SWIP-

I yelped as the feathers instantly turned into blades, while he didn't even flinch.

'Amazing...'

"Well, even I could have told you that~" One said, tipping his fedora slightly as he smirked.

'Don't you dare'  Trendor growled, glaring at the trench coat-wearing male.

"U-Um, excuse me..?" They all looked towards me, while my feathers shifted back to their normal, fluffy, texture.

"I don't wish to be rude... or a nuisance... but I don't exactly know all of your names..." They looked at each other then back at me.

'Well, at least she has manners...'  The male in the suit said, before clearing his throat.

'I am Slenderman, that's Splendorman, Offenderman, and Tenderman'

He pointed to each of the males, who waved with different expressions that I wont really talk about.

'And, from what I can tell, you've already spoken to Trendor'

"Yes, sir" I nodded, smiling slightly.

He stared at me for a few seconds, then chuckled, 'Alright then'

'Splendorman' gasped, squealing, "YOU GOT HIM TO LAUGH!!! AHHH!! THIS IS A DREAM COME TRUE!!!!"

'I chuckled-'

"THIS GIRL IS MAGIC!!!" He continued to squeal, then picked me up and set me on his shoulders with a grin.

My eyes shot wide, and I instantly gripped his hat, "M-Mr. Splendorman!!"

"Just call me Splendy, dear!!" He called, while the others chuckled.

I giggled, "Alright, Mr. Splendy"

Once we all had finished talking and such, the brothers had decided it was time to take their leave... but then-

'Will she be staying here?'  Slender questioned, while Trendor simply shrugged.

'Well, I suppose that will be up to her-'

"Nonono, Mr. Trendor, I couldn't do that... I wouldn't want to be a bother..." I interrupted, causing the two to 'smile'.

'So... you would want to stay?'  My face turned red, and I shyly nodded.

"...yeah... you guys are the first to be nice to me in centuries..." I mumbled, causing the other brothers to stop and look over at me with 'small smiles'.

"Well, I say we keep her around!!" Splendor gleamed, teleporting beside me before he crouched down to my level, "She's just so cute!!"

"I second that" Offender chuckled, his lustful aura slowly disappearing.

'I agree'  Tender spoke up, resting his hand on his hip.

We all looked over at Slender, grinning as he nodded.

"YAY!!!!" Splendy yelled, picking me up and spinning me around.

"NEW FRIEND!!!!!" He hugged me close to his chest, to which I responded to with a giggle and returned the gesture.

'I'll need some time to set up the guest room, I haven't had anyone stay here in ages... actually... I've NEVER had anyone stay here'

"*cough* virgin *cough cough*" Offender choked, looking off to the side as Trendor glared at him.

'Why would I bring someone into the guest bedroom if I was doing THAT? And at least I'm not a rapist who practically flirts with anything that breathes'

"Hey, I am n-!!"

'Stop fighting, you're being childish'  Slender growled, pushing the two away from each other before they decided to fight physically.

'So, what do you plan on doing for the sleeping arrangements?'  Tender stepped forward, resting his hand on my shoulder as Splendor set me back on to my feet.

All of our attention was directed towards Trendor, awaiting his answer.

'Well... I suppose she can stay in my room while I sleep on the couch-'

"Nope" I spoke up, popping the 'p' at the end as they all looked towards me.

"First, you give me this gorgeous outfit, then you actually were nice to me, and lastly... you let me stay..." I stepped forward, looking up at Trendor with a soft expression, "The last thing I would want to do, is make you sleep elsewhere..!"

Then, I crossed my arms, smirking,  "Mr. Trendor, I am sleeping on the couch, and NO ONE will tell me otherwise"

They all looked at each other before breaking into a fit of laughter, me soon joining in.

"I love this kid" Offender laughed, ruffling my hair before walking past me and over towards the large front door, gripping the knob with his pale hand.

He looked over his shoulder at us, tilting his head with a smirk.

"Alright, as much as I want to stay here and hang out with the little devil, I have work to do" He grinned, "I'll pass by tomorrow though~"

"Bye, Mr. Offender!!!" I called as he waved, walking out the door with a chuckle.

I then looked back at the others, only to see them stare at the door in shock.

'...You are definitely one lucky girl...'

'I... agree'

"SEE!!! WHAT DID I TELL YOU?!?! MAGIC!!!!"
